Bleep

Drone meets groove on the latest Modeselektion compilation on Monkeytown Records in a noisy affair. With contributions from Fennesz and The Fall sitting alongside Nosaj Thing and Akkord, it's a wildly varied selection. To Rococo Rot's 'Miles An Hour' blends guitars and beats in refreshing fashion; Cid Rim's 'Pastis' is a searing combination of swollen synth lines and arpeggiated bleeps. The aforementioned Akkord continue their run of brilliantly precise garage reconfigurations with the industrial menace of 'Gradient', and 'Time Hurtz', from Born In Flamez, is almost like Craig Armstrong tackling jungle tropes for total emotive annihilation.
